Ethan Hawke. At the premiere of Clive in New York. He directs and stars in the play. The play is not about Billy Idol.
Ethan Hawke used to be my jam. It was that movie, right? That f-cking movie. When, at 21, you don’t know any better. That was before the sh-tty erotica. Some crushes though, they leave a stain. Full Story

Jackie! Happy Birthday AND Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary! Nel would love to celebrate with you but... you know... you’re in Sydney. Wait. Does that mean it’s already the weekend now? I’m sorry I’m late. But I’m making up for it with Gilbert Blythe (HOW ANGRY ARE YOU ABOUT THE NEW ANNE COVER!?) and Ryan Gosling in Breaker High. Full Story

Halfway through American Idol last night Jacek turned to me and declared:
“I think Nicki Minaj might have just made my Five List.”
It was indeed her strongest episode. And her feedback feels genuine and raw, without the blatant intent to shock that has become Simon Cowell’s signature. Read Full Intro

Tony Leung is 50 now!
That kinda just... it came up fast.
There was a time I wanted to marry Tony Leung. Most girls growing up in Hong Kong homes did. He was Hong Kong’s most popular television actor. He had just starred in a very popular tv series called Police Cadet. In Canada, back then, before they figured out how to watch everything illegally, we would wait and wait and wait for the video cassettes to arrive at the Chinatown rental shoppes. Full Story

The BAFTAs are happening on Sunday. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE SAME DAY AS THE GRAMMYS?!?! And it’s Chinese New Year on Sunday. So Monday will be busy here. But I might be a bit slow getting going because of the celebrations.
Anyway, Ben Affleck’s Argo has been nominated for the BAFTA Best Film and Best Director. Full Story

As many before me have already noted, what made Ocean’s 11 so great was the illusion that that was how they are when they’re all together, hanging out. That George Clooney, obviously, is the team leader. And Brad Pitt talks with his mouth full all the time. And Casey Affleck and Scott Caan run around giving each other wedgies. Full Story

Justin Bieber’s mom, Pattie Mallette, was on The Today Show this morning to promote the movie she’s “executive produced” called Crescendo. No, Pattie Mallette isn’t just getting into showbiz, Pattie Mallette is getting into the business of reproduction. This movie is a biopic of Beethoven’s mom who, FUNNILY ENOUGH, just like Pattie, became pregnant at a young age and after wrestling with the decision to keep the baby or not, delivered unto the world a musical superstar.

So last night, via the always incredible Vulture, I read this list of wardrobe restrictions that CBS has asked to be relayed to performers at the Grammy Awards.
Here is the list in its entirety:
CBS Program Practices advises that all talent appearing on camera please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe. Full Story

Lindsay Lohan somehow talked someone into giving her a ticket to the AMFAR event last night New York in advance of NY Fashion Week. Can’t believe she was allowed in wearing that f-cking weave. How is this considered acceptable hair?
Anyway, Ashley Greene was also at the event and in some of these photos it sort of kind of looks like they may have been hanging out -- at least that’s how the Daily Mail Full Story

After the off-brand BuzzFeed debacle -- Beyonce can’t be ugly! (seriously has anyone heard from the publicist Yvette? I’m worried for her) -- Beyoncé yesterday announced that her Mrs Carter World Tour tickets will be very accessibly priced, with tickets as low as $45 (and as high as $1300 for VIP packages).
